Miss Ella Coquard ististill being\nh\n.ain 102 VASW\nheld in New York. Recent letters from Mis Stimson explain that she was sent back as un-\nfit for active service. I saw her in New York and heard her story which made one feel\nthat she had hardly been given a square deal. Miss Lena Johnson who sailed on the\nsame\nsteamer was in no way responsible for Miss Coquard as she had been placed in charge of\na Greek Unit. Miss Coquard explained that she always suffered a great dax deal from\nsea\nsickness and altho she would have been exdeedingly glad to have helped with the card of\nthose who needed her attention she was not physically fit for the same. Miss Coquard\nwas selected by one of our Division Directors and highly recommended by a great many who\nhad watched her work. She is not a woman of very much education but speaks French. Miss\nStimson laid considerable emphasis upon the fact that she had been turned down by the\nSurgeon General. This does not mean very much. She had not been in Military service,\nand the physical examination blank which she submitted tothat office was not accepted\nowing to the fact that her eyesight did not meet the rigid military test. She was ac-\ncepted for overseas duty by our Division Director upon the strength Of a very careful ph\nphysical examination made by our Division officer who felt that she was quite equal to\nthe service.overseas Miss Stimson also states that she received no education until she\nwas eighteen. I can find no evidence of that fact in any of her papers.Miss Johnson, who\nsailed/on the same steamer, was found to be a very difficult, interfering person before\nshe left New York and we were very much afraid that we should have trouble on her account.\nM"
